Just a simple little ditty. ;-)

Listen to poem:

Maestro

I used to have a stro,
     (a stro?)
I called it ‘my stro’
     (Hmm …)
By itself it felt so dull
     (I’m sure)
Then one day during the lull
     (Yes?)
I added a simple ditty
     (La, La, La …)
Accompanied by my kitty
     (Meow …)
People liked it so well
     (Kudos! Bravo!)
Gave me a nickname that’s swell
     (What?)
They called me ‘maestro’
     (Ahh …)
That’s all I know!
     (Finally!)
